Pretty Pastel Pins

My enamel pin collection (obsession) started in March this year, when I teamed up with Innabox to share these Cute & Quirky pins. A couple of months later, in May, I blogged about this pretty cool range from Old English Company and most recently I found four more Cool Cute & Colourful Enamel pins from different online shops. I now have a grand total of 17 pins, which has been one of my greatest achievements of 2018, so far. Today, I am going to share with you a selection of pretty pastel pins I have picked up on my travels around the internet.

My first pretty pastel pin is from Laura Talanti, a freelance illustrator and designer, mental health worker, crazy cat lady & cat charity volunteer. Laura has an awesome range of pins including cool cat pins, which I was so tempted to get but I had never seen a cup of tea pin and tea is my life. I also received an extra metal rainbow pin to apologize for a small delay which I thought was such a lovely added touch (and I didn’t even notice the delay to be honest). The next pins I have my eye on in Laura’s shop are The Introvert Club andI’d Rather Be At Home With My Cat – both are absolutely brilliant.

Laura also makes earrings, cards, stickers, badges, magnets, pocket mirrors and patches ranging from the adorable to the motivational. I definitely need more goodies from here! Check out Laura on Twitter and Instagramfor her latest updates and offers.

You may have already seen the awesomeness that is Whale & Bird before, as their designs are stocked in places like Paperchase and Scribbler. In fact, I picked up their Crumpet Of Courage postcard a few weeks ago for my Comfort Zone Challenge post. And going further back, Rebecca sent me their brilliant Home Is Where My CatIs postcard last year when we did the Blogger Christmas Card Swap. Whale & Bird sell humorous, quirky and sometimes rude greetings cards, stationery and gifts from a range of super talented artists. This is the fantastic Triceretops pin by Anna Alekseeva.

I spotted this cute Courage Potion pin on Instagram a few weeks ago and knew I needed it in my collection. My ongoing challenge is to push myself out of my comfort zone, be brave and try new things so this pin is the perfect reminder to that. Who doesn’t need a little bottle of courage every now and then. It’s made by the wonderfully talented Joanne Hawker, a Designer & Illustrator from Somerset who is a lover of stripes, tea, all things yellow, imaginary Frenchies called Frank and denim dungarees. She sounds awesome! Joanne has a whole range of fabulous things from cards, prints, pocket mirrors and of course, enamel pins.

Last but by no means least, this is the perfectly positive Good Vibes pin. This is created by onr. who is Rachel Basinger, a designer, creator, blogger, vlogger and new mama (congrats!) who lives in the sunny South of England.onr. stands for OH NO Rachio! and it all started with Rachel’s love for creating handmade gifts for friends & family. Rachel now stocks fantastic cards, prints, stationery, patches, pins and washi tape (washi tape is another obsession of mine!). Every item is made with a lot of love and is cute and bursting with a positive message.

I hope you have enjoyed having a sneak peak at my pretty pastel pins. I’m excited to add these new additions to my ever growing pin collection. Are you a pin lover? Which one is your favourite? Let me know in the comments, I’d love to hear your thoughts!

These pins are so cool, I’ve always wanted to collect pins and then attach them to something like a denim jacket or a bag or something but what??!! Lol. Have you seen Jemma (Dorkface) has released pretty rainbow pins, they’re lovely! When I eventually get something to put pins onto, I’ll be coming to you for pin shopping advice! 💕

Thank you so much Shevy! 💖 I love Jemma’s rainbow pins, I definitely need to add one to my collection 😍. He he, would love to give you pin shopping advice! It is very addictive once you start though 😂😘 xx

These are so cute! I’m not a pin collector although I have bought a few from Punky Pins for Flora’s schoolbag – a whale and a dolphin for my wannabe marine biologist 🙂 But I like the sound of the Be the person your cat thinks you are, so I’ll be off for a browse shortly, haha. Lovely pics, thank you for sharing some of your new collection with us! X

Ahh these are so cute!!! I just love the dinosaur one!!! My husband plays guitar and he always has these band buttons on his guitar strap. I would love to play the guitar just to put cute novelty pins all over it!! =)

These are so damn cute! I especially love the dinosaur. I’d love to start collecting Disney pins because you can get some really gorgeous, rare ones. But I simply can’t afford it and I can imagine it’s super addictive too! xxx

All of these pins are so adorable and seem perfect for you! My personal favourite would have to be the triceratops, I love little doodley dinosaurs! The courage one is also adorable and I’ve seen similar gothic-y ones around that I’ve loved, too. Your photographs just keep better and even more cute, Bexa. Always love reading your posts!

Oh my gosh, these are so cute! I adore the tea one – tea is also my life, so have a feeling that could be a little treat for myself in the near future! Can’t wait to see what other ones you end up with.

I love the colour of these pins! I have a few but they’re all pretty monochrome colour wise, think I need to branch out! That dinosaur one is just adorable, and will definitely be checking out all these people for some new pins to add to my collection x

BEXA! I hope you’re not tired of hearing me say this but you college the CUTEST stuff ever!!! I am a total sucker for the courage potion. It looks so magical and I know I’d want that pin and the actual potion too XD. The good vibes pin is CUTE as well!

I really love these, it’s making me want to go pin crazy 🙂 Especially the little Good Vibes Pin, fantastic 🙂 Thank you for sharing this post reminded me of when i was younger & would collect little badges and pins and pin on my denim jackets 🙂 Great post Xxx

The good vibes one and courage potion bottle pins are my absolute favourite! Your collection is getting pretty grand eh? I have a collection of something different. Over the years I collected oracle and tarot cards. I just love the artworks on them. Feeling I should use them more though ^^

“tea is my life” now that’s a sentence I can agree with! That cuppa tea pin is so cute and perfect for the tea lovers out there. I also love the good vibes pin too. Little hand made gifts like this really are the best

Aw, these are so adorable! I love pastel-coloured anything, so I love them all! Especially that little dinosaur one. 😀 On a side note, your blog has quickly become one of my favourites. All the colours and pretty pictures never fails to put me in a good mood and I love reading your posts. 🙂 xx

Bexa, this post has made me feel so old! I was the girl who wore a crop denim jacket with all of the pins in the nineties! These have a great retro feel and all of the nineties are back in fashion 😂 Love them!

I used to be OBSESSED with pins when I was younger! Reading this has made me want to buy some and attach them to my bag again! These are all so cute, bright, colourful positive little pins I love them! xx
